Acute Ulcerative Contact Dermatitis from Ready Mixed Conerete: Soo Hun Cho, Sang Hwan Han; Korean Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 1995;7(1):191-194. Published online February 28, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.35371/kjoem.1995.7.1.191

The case was described of a 43 year old male who developed burns of the both shins as a result of handling wet cement. After wet cement was spilled into the rubber boots he was wearing, he experienced painful erythema of both lower legs. Several weeks later, medical examination revealed dirty and granulated ulceration of the both shins. The largest ulcer, about 18 by 10 centimeters, was located on the anterior aspect of left lower leg. We coneluded that this skin problem resulted from the ertreme alkalinity of calcium hydroxide in wet cement, combined with the effects of pressure and occlusion against the skin.
